Overview

About 26 Burford Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

26 Burford Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Swindon (SN3 1BP). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £434,000 sits 73.6% above the 2013 sale of £249,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 16.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in July 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
